No, that'd be the Schematic stuff, or some of the shameful demos that get posted to the list. (For the record: Ground Chuck is some of the best stuff I've heard in a while - he's got it in spades.)

And now, I shall weigh in. (whee!) There was a time to me when Proem's stuff was alive and vital and sounded good. The live shows, to me, were even better, because he was playing unreleased music and I liked the songs even more. You knew when you saw Proem that at least it wasn't going to be a completely familiar experience, even if his "live" aspect is him clicking a mouse and smoking. I saw him live at SXSW, and frankly - he had it and he lost it. It was pretty dull, didn't seem much of a progression from what I'd been hearing when I left off listening. Discl(aimer|osure): I was going to put out a Proem 12" for a while. It was later released as that MD, minus the... Colongib remix? Proem has always been a bit of a caustic guy, and after a certain point he started completely ignoring me instead of at least treating me as a friend. So, if you're big on the fact you took Psych 101, you can argue that's what would motivate these feelings. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Far more interesting would be the motivation behind your comment on Schematic. np: PHOENECIA --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
